Batman throws his Batarangs everywhere..he swings around from batline to batline..you got Spidey swinging web to to web, and actually webbing bad guys up at every chance.....Throw in all thos ARROWS that GREEN ARROW and HAWKEYE shoot around like they grow on trees...my point? Who picks up all those Batarangs..who cleans up the left over weblines hanging around for kids to get hurt on trying to be like Spidey..who cleans up those damn arrows????

In essense? WHO IS THE DAMN SUPERHERO TRASHMAN???...

Yep. "Damage Control", set in the Marvel universe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage_Control_(comics)

There was an underground black-and-white comic called Trashman, who was on the run from the cops for revolutionary and drug activity. I read it wayyyy back in the 80s, and all I remember is the cops outside with a megaphone, "Trashman! You have exactly sixty seconds to surrender!", and Trashman replies (in a thought balloon), "Ahhh, just enough time to get high!". Trash lights up a joint, you see clop clop clop of police jackboots drawing closer and he thinks, "Yes, yes", he puffs even more, you see CLOP CLOP CLOP as they're right around the corner, he's grinning and thinking, "Yas, yas, yas yas!", then he suddenly jumps up and slams an M-16 butt into the nearest officer's face, the off-panel narrator cries out, "Well executed, Trashman!", then he leaps out the second story window into his Trashmobile and speeds off through a hail of police gunfire.

At least this is my two-decade-old recollection of reading that event. Of course, I was stoned to the beejezus at that point myself.
